Özet:

 

Quality education requires quality training internationally and nationally.  Professional development of staff for student learning is thus essential in a fast- changing, complex, globalised knowledge environment. This paper explores how  one open-distance learning (ODL) university in South Africa plansprofessional  development for the training of undergraduate teachers to improve teaching  practices, leading to students learning more. Using a qualitative research paradigm  and a phenomenological design, data were collected from six purposely selected,  fourth-year undergraduate student teachers and analysed according to Giorgi’s  phenomenological methods. The results confirm previous studies, for the  participants felt that it was important to establish communities of practice within  their individual subject areas, to enable them to share their experiences and  maintain their passion for teaching. This study recommends that the IT support  personnel in the Department of Basic Education, provides learning materials  needed by schools and assist in the training of teachers for quality training.
